I wonder what the difference in death rates are between types of people?
There was some discussion before it reached US shores along the lines of there likely being a high death rate among Americans due to the high rates of obesity. Smoking and pollution were also high risk indicators.
Society tires me out and perhaps we need an asteroid to put us out of our self-inflicted misery.
Funnily enough I said something similar recently, except it was more along the lines of a solar flare big enough to EMP the planet. Your chosen method is probably much quicker and more final, though.
It wouldn't surprise me that with a little big data, the patterns would be quite clear from a general sense.
The EMP would just turn us back 20K years. We would unfortunately still be humans :D
Lol! Touché. Not much confidence in human nature changing, then?
The data isn't being published, generally speaking. Fairly early, like March or April there was an early study involving smokers. The death rate was a tick higher per capita but the infection rate was statistically lower. U of Arizona study. Never seen a followup of any sort.
I'm sure we ordinary folks couldn't handle the results of the studies so they are being kept from us.
Our death rate in the US isn't so high, but the infection rate is just about off the charts.
